SAFETY NOTICE 00
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS 00
Mistakes in operation are extremely dangerous. Read the OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL carefully BEFORE
operating the machine.
1. Before carrying out any greasing or repairs, read all the precautions given on the decals which are fixed to the machine.
2. When carrying out any operation, always wear safety shoes and helmet. Do not wear loose work clothes, or clothes with
buttons missing.
● Always wear safety glasses when hitting parts with a hammer.
● Always wear safety glasses when grinding parts with a grinder, etc.
3. If welding repairs are needed, always have a trained, experienced welder carry out the work. When carrying out welding
work, always wear welding gloves, apron, glasses, cap and other clothes suited for welding work.
4. When carrying out any operation with two or more workers, always agree on the operating procedure before starting.
Always inform your fellow workers before starting any step of the operation. Before starting work, hang UNDER
REPAIR signs on the controls in the operator's compartment.
5. Keep all tools in good condition and learn the correct way to use them.
6. Decide a place in the repair workshop to keep tools and removed parts. Always keep the tools and parts in their correct
places. Always keep the work area clean and make sure that there is no dirt or oil on the floor. Smoke only in the areas
provided for smoking. Never smoke while working.
PREPARATIONS FOR WORK 00
1. Before adding oil or making repairs, park the machine on hard, level ground, and block the wheels or tracks to prevent the
machine from moving.
2. Before starting work, lower blade, ripper, bucket or any other work equipment to the ground. If this is not
possible, insert the safety pin or use blocks to prevent the work equipment from falling. In addition, be sure to lock all the
control levers and hang warning signs on them.
3. When disassembling or assembling, support the machine with blocks, jacks or stands before starting work.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE 00
Proper service and repair is extremely important for the safe operation of your machine. The service and repair techniques
recommended and described in this manual are both effective and safe methods of operation. Some of these operations
require the use of tools specially designed for the purpose.
To prevent injury to workers, the symbols and are used to mark safety precautions in this manual. The cautions
accompanying these symbols should always be followed carefully. If any dangerous situation arises or may possibly arise,
first consider safety, and take the necessary actions to deal with the situation.
4. FOREWORD SAFETY
00-4 PC400LC-7L
4. Remove all mud and oil from the steps or other places used to get on and off the machine. Always use the handrails, lad-
ders or steps when getting on or off the machine. Never jump on or off the machine. If it is impossible to use the handrails,
ladders or steps, use a stand to provide safe footing.
PRECAUTIONS DURING WORK 00
1. When removing the oil filler cap, drain plug or
hydraulic pressure measuring plugs, loosen them slowly to prevent the oil from spurting out. Before
disconnecting or removing components of the oil, water or air circuits, first remove the pressure completely from the cir-
cuit.
2. The water and oil in the circuits are hot when the engine is stopped, so be careful not to get burned. Wait for the oil and
water to cool before carrying out any work on the oil or water circuits.
3. Before starting work, remove the leads from the battery. ALWAYS remove the lead from the negative (-)
terminal first.
4. When raising heavy components, use a hoist or crane. Check that the wire rope, chains and hooks are free from damage.
Always use lifting equipment which has ample capacity. Install the lifting equipment at the correct places. Use a hoist or
crane and operate slowly to prevent the component from hitting any other part. Do not work with any part still raised by
the hoist or crane.
5. When removing covers which are under internal pressure or under pressure from a spring, always leave two bolts in
position on opposite sides. Slowly release the pressure, then slowly loosen the bolts to remove.
6. When removing components, be careful not to break or damage the wiring, Damaged wiring may cause electrical fires.
7. When removing piping, stop the fuel or oil from spilling out. If any fuel or oil drips on to the floor, wipe it up immediately.
Fuel or oil on the floor can cause you to slip, or can even start fires.
8. As a general rule, do not use gasoline to wash parts. In particular, use only the minimum of gasoline when washing
electrical parts.
9. Be sure to assemble all parts again in their original places. Replace any damaged part with new parts.
• When installing hoses and wires, be sure that they will not be damaged by contact with other parts when the machine
is being operated.
10. When installing high pressure hoses, make sure that they are not twisted. Damaged tubes are dangerous, so be extremely
careful when installing tubes for high pressure circuits. Also check that connecting parts are correctly installed.
11. When assembling or installing parts, always use the specified tightening torques. When installing protective parts such as
guards, or parts which vibrate violently or rotate at high speed, be particularly careful to check that they are installed
correctly.
12. When aligning two holes, never insert your fingers or hand. Be careful not to get your fingers caught in a hole.
13. When measuring hydraulic pressure, check that the measuring tool is correctly assembled before taking any
measurements.
14. Take care when removing or installing the tracks of track-type machines. When removing the track, the track separates
suddenly, so never let anyone stand at either end of the track.

GENERAL 00
This shop manual has been prepared as an aid to improve the quality of repairs by giving the serviceman an accurate
understanding of the product and by showing him the correct way to perform repairs and make judgements. Make sure you
understand the contents of this manual and use it to full effect at every opportunity.
This shop manual mainly contains the necessary technical information for operations performed in a service workshop. For
ease of understanding, the manual is divided into the following sections. These sections are further divided into each main
group of components.
GENERAL
This section lists the general machine dimensions, performance specifications, component weights, and fuel, coolant and
lubricant specification charts.
STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
This section explains the structure and function of each component. It serves not only to give an understanding of the
structure, but also serves as reference material for troubleshooting.
TESTING, ADJUSTING AND TROUBLESHOOTING
This section explains checks to be made before and after performing repairs, as well as adjustments to be made at
completion of the checks and repairs. Troubleshooting charts correlating “Problems” to “Causes” are also included in this
section.
DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY
This section explains the order to be followed when removing, installing, disassembling or assembling each component,
as well as precautions to be taken for these operations.
MAINTENANCE STANDARD
This section gives the judgement standards when inspecting disassembled parts.
NOTICE
The specifications contained in this shop manual are subject to change at any time and without any advance notice. Contact
